Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a message board system in which a person at that place can write effective massage information at that place even if an electronic bulletin board corresponding to the arbitrary place is not previously generated and a nearby person can refer to message information. SOLUTION: When message information M is sent from a portable terminal A, a message board server 1 preserves message information M in a message information data base 1a with situation information X on the situation of an information supplier in which message information M is written. When the reference request of message information M is transmitted from the portable terminal B, the message board server 1 retrieves a retrieval result message group G written in a situation similar to the situation of an information referring person based on situation information Y of the information referring person. The retrieval result message group G is returned to the portable terminal B. The portable terminal B displays the retrieval result message group G sent from the message board server 1.

ることができる。On the other hand, the above-described embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a tourist spot guide system. In this tourist spot guide system, it is possible to provide daily changing information such as highlights and notes at the tourist spot. In that case, location, time, weather, and season can be used as the situation information.

除時間が経過した「伝言情報」を自動的に削除する。The message board server 1 examines the "location information A" and "time A" of the portable terminal A, the "weather A" of the place, and the "season A" obtained from the date when the writing was performed. It is registered in the message information database 1a as "situation information A". The message server 1 automatically deletes the “message information” for which the designated deletion time has elapsed.

「状況情報Ｂ」とする。The information referrer (tourist) refers to the message board information on the portable terminal B at the place where the guide is desired at the tourist spot. Then, the message board server 1 checks the “location information B” and “time B” of the mobile terminal B, the “weather B” of the place, and the “season B” obtained from the date when the reference is made.

Search from a. The message board server 1 sends the "message information" for the ten messages having the highest degree of similarity of the situation as the "search result message group G" to the portable terminal B of the information viewer. Mobile terminal B
Then, the "search result message group G" sent from the message board server 1 is displayed.

Similarities in weather and season should be prioritized, and in the case of historic sites, location should be prioritized. These discussions on the evaluation function are omitted because they are not directly related to the present invention. The mobile terminals A and B can be configured by mobile phones, and the communication network can be configured by an Internet Web server.

る。As described above, since the tourist guide goes directly to the sightseeing spot, confirms the place and writes useful information, it is possible to provide accurate information with careful consideration. For example, it is possible to immediately write information on a dangerous area or the like discovered when a tourist information tour patrols, such as information on a slippery place in rainy weather or rising rivers, at the place where the danger is found.
